In the agreement, which was released to the media Tuesday morning, the City of Indianapolis also agrees to continue de-escalation training for its officers.

In part of the training, recruits discussed trust issues underlying some of the tension between police and the community.

Council President Vop Osili said in a statement sent shortly before the meeting that the proposal is only a template, meant to start a conversation in the legislature.

Indianapolis City-County Councilor William Oliver is the latest to respond to the merit board decision to not fire two IMPD officers who fatally shot Aaron Bailey, an unarmed man.

Faith In Indiana, Black Lives Matter and other activists groups gathered at Monument Circle after a decision not to fire the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers who shot and killed Aaron Bailey.

The officers say Bailey was seen digging in his car's center console, which they perceived as an imminent threat. Skeptics of their story suspect their decision to fire was driven by irrational fear.

Ahead of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department decision, faith leaders held a vigil to pray Indianapolis will not become what they call another failure of justice.

The board voted 5-2 Thursday evening on multiple counts in favor of Officers Michal Dinnsen and Carlton Howard in the June 2017 shooting of 45-year-old Aaron Bailey.

IMPD Police Chief Bryan Roach recommends the officers be fired. Members of the Police Merit Board will make the final decision.

An internal police review of the shooting found the officers had failed to comply with the department's training and policies.
